+|bio=John Jellicoe (1859-1935) was an admiral of the Fleet of the Royal Navy (1919) and the most famous British commander of World War I. He began his service in 1872, and later took part in the Anglo-Egyptian War (1882). Over the next few years, he proved to be a gifted gunnery officer, rotating between service on battleships and working in the departments of the Admiralty responsible for naval armament. In 1900, Jellicoe took part in the Battle of Peking and was seriously wounded in action. In 1905, as Director of Naval Ordnance, he played a key role in the construction of HMS Dreadnought, the first all-big-gun battleship. In the years that followed, he occupied various important posts in the Admiralty, as well as acting as one of the fleet commanders. He was an active advocate for the need to build dreadnought battleships and implement advanced fire control systems. At the outbreak of World War I, Admiral Jellicoe took command of the Grand Fleet-the most powerful force of the Royal Navy. For almost two and a half years he directed the actions of the main fleet in the war against the Imperial Germany with caution and steadiness. The greatest achievement of the admiral's career was the legendary "clash of dreadnoughts"-the Battle of Jutland (May 31 through June 1, 1916). Even though Jellicoe didn't achieve tremendous success, he proved once and for all that the German fleet, even at its peak, wasn't able to compete with the British fleet for naval supremacy.

-|bio=George Dewey (1837-1917) was an admiral of the U.S. Navy (1903). At Naval Academy, he has a reputation as somewhat of a scrapper, but, on the other hand, during the Cival War (1861-1865), he proved himself to be a courageous combat officer whose ships frequently found themselves in the heat of the battle. The following three decades were nothing but routine service, until the war that made the future admiral go down in history began. At the end of 1897, when the conflict between Spain and the United States was about to turn into direct confrontation, Commodore Dewey was assigned to the Asiatic Squadron. He raised his flag on the newly constructed protected cruiser USS Olympia.  With his usual energy, Dewey spent several months preparing his ships and their crews for combat actions. On May 1, 1898, the squadron led by USS Olympia entered the Manila Bay, silenced the shore batteries and, in several hours, turned the entire Spanish Pacific fleet into burning wreckage--demonstrating the power of modern quick-firing artillery.  Without losing a single man, and with just one battle, Dewey ensured victory in the whole theater of operations and became a national hero. The special rank of Admiral of the Navy, the highest rank in the history of the United States, was established just for him in 1903.
